Now with a few small additions and edits for clarity.
NB this is not currently indexed from my site menus as, like a bunch of
similarly hidden motorcycle features it is really off-topic for the site,

I don't know the exact cause of your problem, and you didn't mention the
platform you are using.
Although your crashing is probably not caused by this, I would suggest
you remove Insight 5.0 and upgrade to version 5.5, which has a few extra
features (it is available on Polaroid's website). Also
You didn't give much detail, only that you have plenty of ram and disk, but
what platform are you on, what version of what OS, etc.
Having asked that I would seriously suggest that you consider VueScan. I
use it with my SS4000 and prefer it over Insight and Silverfast. You might
also go on the

The Plus should be available between mid January and mid February. Spec's
have been set for many months, unit is in production, firewire will be as
fast as SCSI, USB slower. I expect we will have no 35mm film scanners to
sell for 2 - 4 weeks as the 4000's have all left Polaroid.

Does that mean that the SCSI SS4000 has been discontinued and is no longer
being made?

I'm pretty sure that David posted earlier that they had abandoned the
project for both the bulk slide and bulk negative feature.
Really? If so I must have missed it, and if true it's rather
depressing news. The biggest drawback with the SS4000 as far as I'm
concerned is the lack of a bulk

really didn't have the time with the 120 to do anything other than automatic
scans with Insight on both scanners.

David,
The rebate offer
It's USB 1.1. Never seen an SS120, so I have nothing to compare. I'd bet it
was at least 3.9, as the SS4000 was very conservatively rated on Dynamic
range.
Tom
Is the USB on the SS4000+ USB 2.0 or 1.1?
Have you compared any scans from the Plus with the SS120? Do you know the
rated Dynamic

Will the Sprintscan 4000 plus offer any significant features over and
above the current Sprintscan 4000? Will it replace the current 4000?
I am also trying to buy a Sprintscan 4000 here in the UK. The Polaroid rep
here
is substantial.

Remember, the SS4000+ is BOTH USB and Firewire. Clearly the Firewire
performance matches the SCSI
The Sprintscan plus is not yet on the market, but will be the
replacement for the SS4000. It will probably cost nearly twice as much
as current pricing on the SS4000. It has somewhat higher bit depth, and
a firewire or USB connection versus SCSI.

No, Yes.

If you can find a SS4000 at a good price you might wish to buy it.
David Hemingway has stated that the main differences are bit depth
increase from 12 to 14. Interface changed from SCSI II to USB and Firewire.

Does anyone have any recommendations on places to buy a
Ecost (www.ecost.com) has them listed for $699, but it isn't clear if they

The Plus is Firewire and USB, while the base model is SCSI. Both the same

If I remember correctly, the base model is 12bits and the Plus is 14bits.
Side by side, you literally cannot see a difference.
Huge price difference.
